Product Overview
The R1000 regenerative braking unit is a smart and efficient alternative to dynamic braking for single or multi-axis drive installations with a high amount regenerative motor operation. Suitable for both regenerative individual drives and systems of inverter drives, servo axis or robots, the R1000 feeds excess braking energy back into the power grid instead of dissipating it as heat.
- Replacing braking resistors saves space and facilitates installation.
- Reduces heat generation, requiring less cooling for the switch cabinet and saving energy costs.
- Provides regenerative energy for other consumers in the plant, reducing total power consumption.
- Allows 4-quadrant-operation without the need for braking resistors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the R1000 unit?
The R1000 is a regenerative braking unit that returns excess energy generated by a motor back to the power grid instead of wasting it as heat through resistors.
Does this unit help in reducing cooling costs?
Yes. Because it replaces traditional braking resistors that generate significant heat, the requirement for switch cabinet cooling is greatly reduced, lowering energy consumption.
What are the power requirements for this model?
The R1000 model requires a 400V 3-phase input power supply to operate effectively.
Can it be used at high altitudes?
Yes, it can operate up to 1,000m without derating, and up to 3,000m with appropriate derating applied.
What is the environmental protection rating?
This unit features an IP20 enclosure rating, suitable for standard indoor industrial environments.
What is the maximum applicable motor power?
For Normal Duty (ND), the maximum applicable motor power is 3.7 kW.
